Update:
Spent the last 24 hours chemically extracting a seized seat post. The top was about 25cm down inside the seat tube to the point where you could see the end through the first bottle cage drilling. When the guy said to me "oh ye there's a stopper inside the tube so that the seat post doesn't go down too far" I have no idea why I missed that red flag. I've dealt with a seized seat post in the passed and that was a pain in the jacobs. Never have I had to use caustic soda to melt out a seat post. All a learning experience though. Fairly simple and painless, albeit messy. The paint took a bit of a beating but I'm getting this in for powder coating next week.
I've found someone over on Retrobike who does vintage decals so putting an order in for those.
